This high-level course aims to give delegates a good understanding of the business drivers, impacts, and implications of implementing, integrating, creating, or consuming services and applications which call upon a layer of abstraction such as can be found when considering the use of Software as a Service (SaaS) / Cloud hosted services and applications, or using Virtualization to manage servers and services within the Enterprise.

We will discuss the benefits and dangers in terms of security of business data, look at the sources of implementation costs of required hardware and software, on-going maintenance issues, and present some scenarios highlighting the best (and worst) uses of Cloud Computing, SaaS, and Virtualization.
